"Christmastime's A-Coming" performed by Raffi
"...and I know I'm going home!"
Today the girlies and I will be packing up our car, and attempting to out-run the next snow storm, in order to get to The Grandparents in Stratford. There has been an outrageous amount of the white stuff falling in the "Snow Belt" of Ontario, and so we must time our road trip carefully... While there is nothing worse than being caught in a storm while on the road TO Gramma and Grampa's house, there is nothing better in the whole wide world than being caught in a storm AT Gramma and Grampa's... For the cosy house is always welcoming and comfortable, the food is fragrant and plentiful, and there is nothing "fun-er" than grabbing a 30-plus-year-old toboggan, flinging onself down upon it, and whizzing down the hill to the bottom of my parents' garden.
While we will avoid the snow on the way there... you can be sure of what our prayers will be full of once we arrive!!!
(Oh, my long suffering parents... be forewarned!!! 'Cause here we come. xoxoxo)

No-one has toboggans here in Bournemouth really, cuz it never snows... but it did, last week, 4 inches! Most snow in 20 years! So the entire neighbourhood tobogganed on baking sheets, boogey boards, skateboards with the wheels removed! It was pretty dangerous :)
Enjoy your snow!
wishing you lots of the white stuff. MQ is aching for snow so we can sled and build snowmen and...
